I've heard of it several times now.

 

IIRC, aren't the cams hollow.

 

yes, the lobes are pressed onto a hollow core.

 

but it usually takes a VERY unattentive driver for it to be caused. usually stems from complete lack of oil, the LIMg leaking, or someone who likes to redline it when it's cold...

 

i'd try and figure out which one applies, that way you know what else to look for that might be bad.

Ha the Skylark I'm driving now had the same thing happen to it, I got that cam laying around somewhere. But yeah, they are hollow and I personally think it was a stupid design choice.
